BMW will discuss drivers’ clush 

BMW Team Principal Mario Theissen has assured to sit down with Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica and discuss their collision on the first lap of the European Grand Prix. The pair predictably blamed each other after the clash; Heidfeld – who was later involved in another collision with countryman Ralf Schumacher – insisting that his Polish team-mate “forced me onto the dirt,” while Kubica retorted that “Nick arrived too fast and touched me.”

Theissen condemned the incident for having cost the team another podium finish.
“Obviously, a collision between team-mates isn’t exactly what we want to witness,” the German said. He revealed: “We will first analyse the data, then sit down with the drivers and talk about the situation. The goal is to avoid these kind of incidents in future.”
